4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
5. Gently fold in 2 cups peeled and chopped apples and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans.
6. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
7. Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
